Harare city leaders face new trouble over housing plots. People say these leaders took fancy house plots for themselves in rich areas. This breaks the rules.
This started happening after Mr. Fani Machipisa died. He ran the housing office and had stopped leaders from taking plots wrongly.
The government has clear rules. City leaders can only get plots in the areas they serve. If their area has no space, they can pick a spot next door. But many leaders took land in rich places like Borrowdale and Mt Pleasant instead.
Some people inside the city offices say only friends of Mayor Jacob Mafume get the best plots. This makes other leaders angry. But finding plots in north Harare is hard because private people own most of that land.

A man from Plumtree has asked Prophet Shepherd Bushiri to punish two church members. The man, Mr. Chiwawa, says his heart is broken. He tells a story about his wife and another man from their church.
Chiwawa says a church leader named Kagande had a secret love affair with his wife. He married his wife in 2022 after living with her since 2010. But he says she started seeing Kagande right after their wedding.
Chiwawa found out about this when he tried to help Kagande move to the UK. His wife told their local church pastor, Samuriwo, about what happened. But Chiwawa feels sad because the church did nothing about it.
He says his wife met with Kagande many times when he was away at work. This has hurt their marriage very badly.
The court has let Neville Mutsvangwa go free. This happened after he asked the court to stop making him come back again and again. His friends Ellis Majachani and Simbarashe Tichingana also got free.
These three men had been in trouble with the law. People said they dealt with money in wrong ways. Their lawyer, Oliver Marwa, told the court that waiting for their trial took too long. The court agreed.
The state kept changing its plans about their case. First, they set a date for the trial. Then they wanted to move the case to a bigger court. Magistrate Apollonia Marutya said this waiting was not fair. She told the state they must send papers to call these men back only when ready for a real trial.
The state says these men did wrong...
Many people want to be the money boss at Harare City Council. A total of 43 people asked for this big job. The city has not had a real finance director since 2015.
Right Mr. Godfrey Kusangaya fills this role for short times. The city just gave him another year to keep working. But some people say he paid bribes to get this job. The city's mayor says this makes no sense because Kusangaya does not even want the full-time job.
The last real finance director was Mr. Stanley Kwenda. He left his job in 2015. He had many fights with the city leaders. Last year, they agreed on how much money to give him to leave.
Mayor Jacob Mafume talked about this at a big meeting yesterday. He felt surprised that so many people want this job. He told...
A man named Isaac Matinyarare took someone's car in Chiredzi. The car's owner, Phillip Mafuta, says Matinyarare grabbed his silver Nissan Sulphy Bluebird. Mafuta told The Mirror that Matinyarare took the car because of money he owed. He also took important car papers and keys.
The stories from both men differ a lot. Mafuta says he only owed US$60. But Matinyarare, who lives at 85 B Curve in Chiredzi, claims Mafuta owed him US$1,000. Matinyarare said he would show proof with signed papers, but he has not shared them yet.
The police have not looked into this case yet. Acting Police Spokesperson Masauso Patinyu needs time to check the facts. People say Matinyarare has taken other cars too. These cars sit at the Chiredzi Police Station...
Energy Mutodi faces a court case about his child. He serves as a Zanu PF Member of Parliament for Bikita West. His former wife, Polite Dhiyo, wants him to pay US$1,500 each month to help raise their baby.
Dhiyo took her case to the Masvingo court this morning. She tells the court that Mutodi makes good money, about US$15,000 monthly. This comes from his work as a lawyer, business owner, and parliament member. But she says he has not helped at all with their six-month-old baby.
The couple married under custom law last year. Mutodi paid part of the bride price to her family. They split up later. Dhiyo says Mutodi promised to help with money for the baby after they separated. But she tells the court she pays for everything herself - the...
The High Court made a clear choice about Mike Chimombe and Moses Mpofu's court case. The court refused to send their case to the Constitutional Court. It said their reasons had no real value.
These two men got into trouble over the Presidential Goat Pass-On Scheme. People say they took US$7.7 million from this program. The police charged them with fraud.
Their trial should have started in early October. But it had to wait because Chimombe and Mpofu brought up many complaints. They did not like how the police arrested them and kept them in jail. The court looked at these complaints but found them empty and bothersome.
A school in Harare took action against 40 students. Mother Patrick Convent Primary School sent out letters to remove these students from grades up to Grade 6.
The school gave out these letters on December 2. The letters said the students broke school rules by missing too many days. The acting head, Eugenia Muketiwa, told parents their children could not stay at the school.
The real story turned out different. Teachers at the school had started refusing to work on November 19. They wanted better jobs and their missing pay. The old head teacher, Tendayi Kagurabadza, did not fix these problems. Many parents took their kids home because no one watched them at school.
The school's move made parents very angry. One parent spoke up and said...
Bad people tricked many young people from Zimbabwe to go to Sierra Leone. They used fake job ads asking for people aged 18 to 35 who passed their O-Levels. The victims thought they would get good jobs.
These bad people bought plane tickets for the victims. But when the victims got to Freetown, the capital city, the bad people took their passports away. The victims had to do wrong things like trick people through dating websites. They got laptops and had to use fake photos to fool others into sending money.
The victims worked for five months but got no money. The bad people said they would put money in the victims' bank accounts in Zimbabwe, but this did not happen.
On Tuesday, two people made it back to Zimbabwe. They met Mr Simon...
